- Video: Watch Kevin's best bits
Matt Lucas-alike Kevin became the sixth candidate to be fired in last night's Apprentice. Was Kevin the right person to go?
Well, of the three candidates he took back into the boardroom - yes. He refused to listen to the other team members suggesting that they would be better to do the sales presentation and as a result his pitches were disasters.
Kevin made a catastrophic mistake in not taking Jenny back into the boardroom. Jenny should have been in there and should have been fired for her appalling 'save the earth' week idea - let's all save the planet by cutting down lots of trees to send cards to each other. Clever.
So, did the other candidates agree with Sir Alan's decision? Absolutely not. The last five minutes of the programme when the contestants return to the house are fast becoming the best in the whole show. This week saw everyone turn on Sara and tell her to her face that she deserved to be fired.
We've praised Lee in previous weeks but his behaviour last night was disgraceful as he shouted at Sara that next time if she doesn't contribute he will not accept it and will be taking her into the boardroom with him. Annoyingly Sara failed to defend herself - though possibly she was simply shocked after finding herself under attack from all sides.
Does Sara still deserve to be in the running? Well, it's difficult to tell because we haven't really seen her in action yet. Does this mean that she doesn't contribute or simply that she is not getting much screentime? We don't know. Hopefully she will get to be team leader next week and then we will finally see what she's made of.
The other memorable moment last night was Michael's triumphant - and very inappropriate - football yob yell in the boardroom. We thought poor Margaret was going to have a heart attack. Michael's team had a very narrow victory - mainly because the other team's idea was so bad. Earlier in the task he had spent several hours trying to work out where to put an apostrophe. Michael tried to find the answer by calling up the editor of the Telegraph and the British Library. Had he thought about using a dictionary? We know where we would suggest he put the apostrophe...
What did you think of last night's show? Do you think Sara was treated unfairly? Was Kevin the right person to go? Let us know what you think...

Kevin was indeed the right person to go, however, the silly boy should have brought the dreadful Jenny in with in and we all would have had the great pleasure of seeing that stupid stan laurel grin wiped off her face. Sara did make some other suggestions that I thought were quite valid, like pet day or possible religious events that are not within most card shops. I feel that she was bullied, not only by Jenny aka Stan, but also by home boy lee and others, which is unacceptable, childish and has no place in the world of work. I love the show and will continue to watch. Claire, N.Ireland.
Posted by: jamesmallon43 on Thu May 01 11:51AM | Report abuseI thought Jenny's behaviour for the enviromental idea actually spoke for it's self ut the way she treats other people is absoultly hurtful and cruel. Last night, four men and Jenny ganging up on Sara was totally unacceptable to the point I may stop watching The apprentice. That was not only bullying but unprofessional. To think these people have been in business and leading areas is shocking as there is little consideratiod towards human feeling. I've watched ll the series and these candidates are so strange with the way they treat each other.
Posted by: saliha_khatun on Thu May 01 11:51AM | Report abuseLee's contribution was hardly earth shattering. Perhaps he was covering his own poor performance by his attack. Of those in the boardroom Kevin had to go. Jenny's performance was curious. Good to know Britain's future is in such competent hands!!
Posted by: peter.dalton9 on Thu May 01 11:51AM | Report abuseIts not racist to disapprove of someones actions (or lack of), Im pretty sure she would of got the same verbal whether she was white, green, pink, or blue.I get sick of these idiots who scream racism for the most stupidest of reasons. Are they not the ones who are really rascist for thinking that colour is always the issue? Should we tread on eggshells and not speak our minds just because somebody is of a different colour or background? Is this treating people equally? Get an education you idiots. I personally think she deserved to be questioned for her lack of contribution, just not by everyone at once in the aggressive manner they chose.

Posted by: mjesos on Thu May 01 11:51AM | Report abusePoor Sara, we feel that it was right to keep her in as everytime she tried to make a suggestion Jenny [bulldozer in tights] shut her up. The problem we have is how on earth is Kevin [ the only manager is the village ] became a Manager as he can't delegate. Also has Alex lost the use of his of his mouth? as he had nothing to offer last night.@#$% from Plymouth.

Posted by: natarlee on Thu May 01 11:52AM | Report abuseThe housemates behaviour was appalling, this years contestants are by far the most inept I have seen, most likely because they realise they are underacheivers who are out of their depth. Although those who murmur racism AGAIN should think twice, this defence holds little water these days we are all tired hearing it, its not an acceptable defence and those who utter this ridiculous hrase time and time again are more likely to eb racist. look and you shall find!!! Well done Raef for showing the only sign of intelligence.Jenny should go, shes a joke and Claire is also a snake in the grass- who would want to work with her?????
Posted by: buckleyaileen on Thu May 01 11:52AM | Report abuseIt was like watching a witches coven the way the others cackled and tore into sara, it made me feel sick the way they bullied her, good on raef who was the only one to try and stop it. I hope sara wins and shows these useless nasty pieces of scum what for.
